Let Them Be Little

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand

You felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute

How it amazes me, you're changin' with every blink

Faster than a flower blooms, they grow up all too soon

So, let them be little

'Cause they're only that way for a while

Give 'em hope, give them praise, give them love every day

Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle, let 'em sleep in the middle

Oh, but let them be little

I never felt so much in one little tender touch

I live for those kisses, your prayers and your wishes

An' now you're teachin' me how only a child can see

Tonight, while we're on our knees, all I ask is

Please, let them be little

'Cause they're only that way for a while

Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day

Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle, let 'em sleep in the middle

Oh, but let them be little

The so innocent, precious soul

You turn around, and it's time to let them go

So, let them be little

'Cause they're only that way for a while

Give them hope, give 'em praise, give them love every day

Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle, let them sleep in the middle

Oh, but let them be little

Let them be little
